Rainsuit Review

zoom45 · 04-30-2010, 06:17 PM

A few days ago I wrote some comments about a rain suit I had bought after riding through about 8 hours of thunderstorms. LOL. It was this suit:
http://www.compacc.com/p/Fieldsheer-...nsuit-Closeout

I have the yellow and black one. Some of the reason I got soaked may have been my fault. I may not have pulled the neck strap tight enough which allowed rain to seep in and get my shirt wet. After that my shirt acted like a wick and over time ran all the way down and soaked me as if I didn't have a jacket on. The sleeves have elastic that do not fit my wrist tight (maybe my wrist are too small for that suit) and it wicked the same way on my long sleeves. The pants seem fine. The whole problem was with the jacket. I still wouldn't buy another one. The center of the jacket has an eleastic band around the middle while is just not comfortable to me. Especially if you had to wear it over a coat.

Hey, that doesn't look to far off of Todd's bumblebee suit.

I have the Fog Toggs and it does keep you dry.

I have Frog Togg and they work well for me. Gadget has instructions for making them exhaust pipe resistant, I have not done it because I don't hug my pipes, but it looks easy and probably works. That part about pulling the neck strap "tight enough" makes me uncomfortable.
Thanks for your time

My wife had Frog Toggs but she was soaked too. Maybe it was just the amount of rain we were in and it was for hours non-stop. Worse rain I have ever ridden in.
